    This series is such a good idea. The subway ride, the walk in the street, the browsing...It makes me feel as if I'm going to a recordshop for real, which is my favorite thing to do on a saturday afternoon. So, thanks to you I can have that saturday afternoon feeling at 10 pm on a tuesday night 👍.

    Love this video! As an 18 year old who has (pretty much) never experienced a record store, this was an eye opener. Thank you 😊

      Once upon a time there were record stores like this everywhere and they were much much bigger with so much music you can’t even image. There used to be warehouse size stores like this. Those are the ones I really miss. I literally could spend all day in them.

    That was a fun trip to the record store! Looks like it was a beautiful day to go shopping! I saw a Rainbow record that I wanted there. I bought Blind Faith on friday in Vinyl form with the banned cover, great album, had it on cd for a long time. I'm the opposite of you, if it's too expensive on record I get it on cd.

    It's cool watching you go to and from the shops downtown. I'm pretty sure I have that Edgar Winter album on vinyl. I'm going to start going through my vinyl collection year by year, and posting a lot of stuff as I find it, because honestly, I don't remember a lot of what I've got down there. Now that I am semi-retired, I'll have the time for that. I saw you pull out or show a number of old favourites of mine, and you pulled out one of my top ten records of all time, "Liege & Lief" by Fairport Convention. We are also now in another three week lockdown here in Ontario because of the high numbers of Covid cases, so no gigs for the next three weeks, and no gigs by friends to go to, so more time to spend at home and go through my music collection.

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  2 года назад +1

      Now is a good time to being going through your collection. During lockdown in 2020 that’s what really started all of this. I was going through my whole collection rediscovering so many bands and albums. I’m still riding they wave now.

    • @MartyMurray
      @MartyMurray 2 года назад

      Yes, I'm going to do that. My vinyl record collection is grouped together both by year, and alphabetically, starting at the year 1970. Anything previous to that is on separate shelves below, but still in alphabetical order, so 1970 will be the first year I start going through. I have a whole pile of records I have downloaded to go through also, some old, some new, and some new CD's I have gotten in the mail. A lot to keep me busy. I have also begun a new series of videos on my RUclips channel, where I am going through my album reviews and posting videos of them. I did one last night for AC/DC Highway to Hell that took me a good six or seven hours of work, mostly to know what settings to use, what background music I could use, etc., but I think I have that figured out now. That is up on my RUclips channel, under "Marty Murray." I am going to add a second one tonight. Also, I have been spinning Styx's latest album in my car for the past couple of days, and although it didn't grab me at first, I'm beginning to enjoy it now. It's a good record, and I can see why you picked it as your favourite.

      Sorry to hear that. Part of why I started filming these is as a document because they are disappearing everywhere. It will truly be sad when the last great store like this is gone. I feel for you not having any places like this to go.

  • @davej.meister5421
    @davej.meister5421 2 года назад

    Hey Brendon. I know cd's are your thing, and you're not terribly big on vinyl, but there's this one obscure 70's rock band called Stallion that released 2 albums on Casablanca that NEVER made it to cd. They're a one hit wonder band, and their only charting single "Old Fashion Boy" hit the lower reaches of Top 40. Their 1977 S/T debut is a bit poppy (comparable to CSN, LRB, Ambrosia, Player or Starbuck,) but the follow-up album (did NOT chart) is more 70's arena rock like Styx, Journey, Queen, Jefferson Starship, Boston, Foghat, Utopia or Michael Stanley Band, and it's extremely rare. Just in case you're interested in searching for more vinyl to add to your collection. Stallion's S/T full album is here at YT. Not sure about their follow-up album Hey Everybody (aka Stallion 2.) There are a couple songs from that album here at YT, though.

    Glad you got that "Move Along" album. Another good lesser-known track off of it is "Anyway the Wind Blows" which has landed on a few of their compilations. I'm actively searching for the CD issue (I have a very old cassette of it).

    love these videos and Love Beach by ELP was the first record I picked up on release day Nov 1978 , I was SOOO excited , many dismiss the album but I adore it and play it regularly . These shops look so much better organised than in London and seem very tranquil places too !

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  2 года назад

      I’ve seen it for a long time and have always been intrigued by the album cover. I may need to give it a new listen and see if I want to add it to the collection. I have other ELP albums but not Love Beach.

    Do you already have some Fiona in your collection. I know you're a big Rock Candy Records guy (who reissued her stuff), so I assume yes. I dig her. How much time do you typically spend in a shop when you go out music hunting? And now that you've done several of these experience videos, have any shop owners/employees said that they've seen them? Or maybe other customers have mentioned that your video(s) prompted them to come in to shop? Great job, Brendon -- keep it up!

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  2 года назад +1

      Yes I have Fiona’s album from Rock Candy. That’s why I focused on it in the video. Typically the albums I’m showing are ones I know, love and own. I’ve actually never had any store owners inquire yet. It’s not uncommon in NYC for people to film and take pics of things. Lots of tourists. But I have had a couple shop owners recognize me from my videos. At that point I informed them that I had been filming to make an experience video of their store. They have all been grateful.

    The crate digging part is so asmr! I have the ELP album. It is not progressive, it is more an AOR record. I have also the ZZ TOP box set. But I would prefer to have the albums individually.

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  2 года назад +1

      Don’t get rid of the ZZ Top 6 Pack boxset because the mixes on those are different. They remixed them to sound more like the 1980’s era with the electronic drums. Go ahead and buy the albums remastered individually and you can then have the original 1970’s mixes too.

    Classic rock on cd is way underpriced; it wasn't current when cds were issued and most quite limited with almost all now out of print. I disagree on the Blind Faith cover with Clapton's lack of judgment which he acknowledged later.

      If you handle the CD’s properly (only touching the edges) they don’t need cleaning.
